I will be seeing these gagues again soon. Car is gunna be moved for the first time in One year, being towed to a good transmission shop up in Red deer ( i have to make the 280 mile treck up there to do this ), good friend of mine runs a shop there, and is going to do it.
If some of you don't know, my Bonneville's transmission died last summer after WCBF, and we towed it to Red Deer to sit at my grandmas place. Finally getting it done. On the 22nd of this month, I should be going back up there to pick it up and drive it back down to Medicine Hat.
Ahh, its going to be nice, been a while, didn't think I could go this long.

I never thought it'd be almost two year for me to hear my '93 run again. I can't even believe it's been almost two years, it still seems like a couple weeks ago it all started. :)

Anyhow, good luck with the repairs! Hope to see some new pictures/video soon!

Not with those T1R's on it! That's no winter driver under any circumstances. That's what the GP is. :wink:

Not necessarily, I need to sell both, as I need a mire reliable vehicle. I am not really in the position to keep dropping money into cars that may or may not keep going.
I am trying to sell it for between $5000-8000. With the money I got from insurance last year for the hail damage, that will be enough to cover what paid and put into the vehicle.
If it doesn't sell, I guess I'll keep it and have to put some more money into it.
